Basic Approach of the Bowling Weight Training Program

I’ve designed a single-phase program for bowlers. It concentrates on building basic strength and muscle. This should suit most bowlers. If you play year-round you can continue with this workout as your basic program. If you take a break for longer than a month, start again with a gradual build-up.

Consider the program presented here an all-around program, best suited to beginners without a history of weight training. More sophisticated programs are always specific to an individual’s current fitness, goals, and access to resources and coaches.

If you’re new to weight training, brush up on principles and practices with the beginner resources.

Always warm up and cool down before and after a training session. A medical clearance for exercise is always a good idea at the start of the season.

Now, let’s get started.

Basic Strength and Muscle Program

In this workout, you will build strength and muscle. The emphasis is on lifting moderately heavy weights in order to train the nervous system in conjunction with the muscle fibers to move bigger loads.

In this foundation phase, muscle building will also serve you well for strength development.

Do no more than three sessions a week.
